MOVING THE WIRE
(With No Apologies to the Florida Supreme Court)
(To the tune of "Walking the Wire," from the A.D. album Reconstructions (Reconstructed))
 

Little men in high places
Sitting in the judgment seat
Little men, big disgraces
Change the rules, but feel no heat

Time and again, the voice of the winner cries, "Foul!"
Time and again, it's lost in a partisan howl

Moving the wire
One foot in politics and another in the chad
Moving the wire

Little men, sunshine stasis
Faceless names decide the race
Little men, recount cases
Gulp your pride; you're losing face

Time and again, their message is painfully clear
Time and again, their choices turn hope into fear

Moving the wire
One foot in politics and another in the chad
Moving the wire

Time and again, the voice of the winner cries, "Foul!"
Time and again, it's lost in a partisan howl

Moving the wire
